Running through this Thursday, June 17th, the contest entries support over 15 different independent music venues throughout Nashville. Since 2017, the MVAN has striven to educate and fuel the independent music scene in the city.

The company teamed with artists to highlight the future of music in the virtual world. Each spoke to their experiences with the latest technology being used to bring music directly to fans. Check out Caylee Hammack’s interview below and watch the rest under each artist’s profile in the link below.

“I think that VR is opening up music and making it more accessible,” Hammack shares. “It has the ability to open up so many doors for people. It’s so cool that on the other side of this camera you’re in your comfort zone and you get to be a part of this magic even though we don’t get to be in the same room. We still get to have magic together.”

Entries for the MVAN Virtual Reality Sweepstakes close 6/17 at 12 pm CST. To learn more about the available prizes and how to enter visit https://campaigns.doditty.com.
